What Am I going to be ?..

What Am I going to be ?.. This is the English name of an Danish children's Book. Learning the kids about some of the popular occupations, now and then .. There are very nice color pictures in this Book , which was printed in Italy in 1974..; I don't know the Danish language at all , but some word were familiar to me in this book, like: Detektiv ( detective ) , Brandmand (the fireman), Astronom , modepige (making clothes?) , Bulldozer-forer (working with a bulldozer) , kemiker ( chemist ) , politimand (policeman) , flyver, Kokkenchef (the Chef ) , Taxichauffor (the Texi driver) and so on.. [and I'm sure you know these words as well] :-)
Even I'm a grown-up now.. I love children's Books (old and new) , and Yes I'm asking myself the same question, from time to time: What Am I going to be ?.. everyone has some dreams .. :-)
So ..Will you be a Chef ..

Or a judge..

Above 2 pictures are from the "Hvad Katten Skal Jeg Vaere?" Book by carlsen if 1974 "I've made you a nice plate..", yes it was Uzi from Uzi's hummus shop , "and if you can't finish this here, take it away to your home.." ; I didn't ordered the usual plate ,But :cooked Hummus with -lemon, garlic and some of Uzi's secret mix.. the Hummus was cooked so soft, absolutely yummy, next in the same plate were cooked Ful (cooked in this long and hot jug), an hard boiled egg , parsley and much more ... It was very good, and I can't eat until tommorw, Nothing ..... :-) I was looking for a cake recipe, made of my new Greek Ouzo..so I found this greek recipe. I'm not sure this cake recipe is one of the best, but It was a nice try and I like the Syrup more ... (maybe adding more syrup as it use to be will make this cake better).
